What vcar do you run? My brakes get crappy after a while because the fuel tankis close to the brake, it gets coated in fuel when I spill. Only thing I can do is clean it down.

If the brake is binding in any way then it will wear quickly and become totally useless. Best to remove the disc and check it and the brake pads for signs of wear, melting, fuel etc.
